I called TYR and spoke with a PR person regarding the release of the Tracer Rise scheduled for February. (I do this swim blog and I have been fixated on suits as of late.)
While I was on the phone I realized that if Swimming Australia Ltd, USA Swimming, and all of the other anti-speedsuit governing bodies have their way, speedsuits like the full bodied Speedo LZR, the TYR Tracer Light and Rise, the blueseventy Nero, and many others could be summarily outlawed?
This would certainly effect masters swimmers like me who invested in a suit recently to only have it potentially denied in competition just months from now. (They really should ask the swimmers what we think.)
I suggest that if the suits have to be banned or even modifired, which I disagree with intensely, I hope there is a long grace period at the masters level to do so. Say like a year or two.

I think instead of banning them they will allow small motors to be used. That should make some of these pro-suit people happy.
Hey Cyclist
I'm glad I've finally got some company on this tech suit issue.
Now Aquageek (and other members of the Church Of Suit Technology) will have the moral equivalent of a "Two Headed Dragon" to deal with!!! :bump:
